Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.0 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Focaltech touchpad is emulated as an Elantech mouse

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The touchpad is wrongly recognized as an Elantech PS/2 and behaves as
  mouse. It works but it misses many of the typical gestures needed by a
  touchpad, like two fingers scrolling or side scrolling.

  A possible solution could be to patch the kernel to have the required
  driver, as you search on the web it is a very common issue among ASUS
  users.  Here [1] you can find a patched kernel. I will try it to check
  if it works and corrects the issue.
